Chapter 108 Another rare item
Yi Qianhuan was amused by the Queen Mother's matter-of-fact tone: "The Queen Mother really cares for your servant."
The Queen Mother wants to help Baili Ting out of trouble with just these casual words?
There was no way she would risk offending the entire Yunzhao Kingdom and confront the Queen Mother in front of the Emperor just for Baili Ting.
But if Baili Ting thought that he could rely on the Queen Mother to support him, he was very wrong.
After all, this was a bet between her and Baili Ting that was initiated.
Baili Ting was unwilling to comply in the end, which was tantamount to breaking his promise to her and owing her something.
As a master of mysticism, does Baili Ting really think that anyone can owe Yi Qianhuan a debt?
"In that case, let's do as the Queen Mother says." Yi Qianhuan said this neither humbly nor arrogantly. It seemed that he didn't want to argue any further, but in fact he didn't compromise either.
Ji Chilian discovered that Bei Yunting and Bei Zhanye had been observing Yi Qianhuan.
Bei Yunting finally spoke at this time: "The Crown Prince's wife is magnanimous, which shows that I did not misjudge her. The Crown Prince's wife has indeed made great contributions to the dragon vein matter. I plan to grant the Crown Prince's wife the position of Female Heavenly Official as a reward."
After these words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the people present varied.
"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is the number one person in the Star Picking Pavilion, and her status is equal to that of the Imperial Master." Ji Chilian explained.
Yi Qianhuan suddenly realized.
No wonder after Bei Yunting said this, Baili Ting, who had seemed somewhat proud of relying on the Queen Mother, looked even uglier than before.
Bei Zhanye tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest: "Brother, the Crown Prince's wife is young after all, and I am worried that she cannot bear the hardship of letting her enter the Star Picking Pavilion from the beginning."
Yi Qianhuan looked towards Bei Zhanye.
Bei Zhanye looked normal, and unlike Baili Ting, he did not show his dislike for her on his face.
Bei Zhanye was talking about the matter at hand and was not targeting her personally.
It was not difficult for Yi Qianhuan to see from Bei Zhanye's attitude that even if she was not standing here to judge the merits today, but someone else was standing here, he would raise the same doubts.
"The Regent is worrying too much. Master Mingzhi of Longan Temple wrote me a letter, in which he mentioned that the Crown Prince's wife is a rare genius that only appears once in a century. Six years ago, the dragon vein was damaged and rumors were flying, which caused the Crown Prince's wife to suffer injustice at that time. This position today is just some compensation." Bei Yunting said.
Bei Zhanye gladly accepted it upon hearing this and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, Baili Ting kept winking at the Queen Mother.
Now the whole Yunzhao Kingdom knows that Yi Qianhuan and he are not on good terms, and he has been publicly embarrassed twice because of this woman!
If Yi Qianhuan were to be on equal footing with him in the future, wouldn't this wanton woman be able to climb directly over his head? !
The more Baili Ting thought about it, the more he couldn't accept it!
But the Queen Mother was also in a difficult situation.
Although she is the emperor's mother, once Yi Qianhuan becomes a female official, her affairs will be the affairs of the previous dynasty.
The harem cannot interfere in government affairs. This is what the emperor has always been most taboo about.
While the Queen Mother and Baili Ting were arguing, Ji Chilian's eyes were always on Yi Qianhuan.
Everyone thought that Yi Qianhuan would be very happy to hear such a reward.
But he clearly saw that Yi Qianhuan did not show any joy after listening to the emperor's words.
Not only that, she even felt a little disgusted.
Yi Qianhuan knelt on the ground without hesitation and bowed to Bei Yunting: "Your Majesty, please take back your order."
After these words were spoken, the looks that people present gave Yi Qianhuan became even more exciting.
"Yi Qianhuan, you do have some abilities, but this cannot be the capital for you to disobey the emperor. You are too arrogant!" Baili Ting said sternly.
"Your Majesty, I am not disobeying you, but I have other wishes. I have been traveling around and have experienced a lot. I know that the officialdom is not suitable for me, and I would rather be free and unconstrained. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, although I do not want to serve as an official, I am concerned about Yun Zhao. If there is a similar incident of damage to the dragon vein in the future, I swear to do my best to help Your Majesty."
As Yi Qianhuan spoke, he bowed deeply to show his determination.
"Well, I was right about you!" The emperor was very satisfied with what Yi Qianhuan said, and showed a look of admiration, "Just now, your mother was worried that the Crown Prince's wife was repairing the dragon vein for status and power. Now it seems that your mother was worrying too much."
Yi Qianhuan glanced at the Queen Mother.
This gossipy woman actually said bad things about her behind her back?
Although the emperor had already decided to reward her with an official position, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The empress dowager's casual words were enough to make the emperor care about her affairs.
Not to mention, the emperor not only gave her a high position, but also let her be on an equal footing with Baili Ting, with whom she had a grudge. If she agreed, who knows how much trouble she would encounter next.
No wonder the Regent spoke just now, it turned out that he already knew that the Queen Mother was behind the scenes making trouble.
The Queen Mother did not think there was anything wrong with what she said to the Emperor, but she was very satisfied that Yi Qianhuan could take the initiative to refuse: "A woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Since the Crown Prince's wife is unwilling, the Emperor should not force it. Just reward her with some gold and silver and imperial gifts."
"What the Queen Mother said is very true. Come, bring up the reward."
Yi Qianhuan's expression looked much better now.
Great, it’s finally time for the part she’s been looking forward to the most!
Seeing the eunuchs coming with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, Yi Qianhuan saw the glass lamp she wanted among them, and finally smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"The Crown Prince's wife is indifferent to fame and wealth, which reminds me of Zi Yu. This child is filial to me and always likes to bring some rare things to me for me to enjoy and entertain. He spends much more time with me than the Emperor and the Regent." The Queen Mother said suddenly.
Yi Qianhuan didn't say much, but just looked up at the Queen Mother.
Bei Yunting and Bei Zhanye confessed their crimes one by one.
"Since the queen mother is willing to love young Master Helian, you can summon him into the palace more often." Bei Yunting said.
"Of course. Ziyu is the reincarnation of a Qilin, and I like him very much. Speaking of him, I would like to show the rare items he has recently researched to the emperor and the regent." The queen mother looked at Yi Qianhuan with a straight eye, "If the wife of the prince and the governor are free, come and take a look."
Yi Qianhuan really wanted to say that she was busy.
Mobao and Yubao were still waiting for her to come back home.
"Yes, please come this way, Madam Crown Prince." Ji Chilian took the lead and agreed for her.
Yi Qianhuan followed reluctantly, but she knew very well in her heart that she had to follow even if Ji Chilian didn't say anything.
This is also the reason why she doesn't like entering the palace and is unwilling to be a female official.
There are too many rules in the palace and the court, and she really doesn't like being bound by the rules.
